GA 1st

First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly (Disarmament and International Security Committee)


The First Committee of the General Assembly (GA 1st) is one of the main committees of the General Assembly. It was created along with five other subcommittees at the first session of the General Assembly in 1946. The committee deals with disarmament, global challenges and threats to peace that affect the international community. Therefore, it is also known as the “Disarmament and Security Committee” or DISEC. Its decisions are not legally binding but represent a strong self-commitment of the international community. Resolutions passed by the First Committee are forwarded to the plenary sessions of the General Assembly, where they are discussed further and adopted. All 193 member countries of the United Nations are represented in the GA 1st. The history of the General assembly and its main committees goes back to the founding days of the United Nations. Disarmament, conflict prevention and stability are as relevant today as they were when the UN was founded.

Topic 2024: Preventing Illicit Financing of Armed Conflict
